Just couldn't take it any longer and took a trip down to Havasu last week to actually put hands on one of these kayaks that I have been drooling over online. Ended up putting money down on a demo that I don't get my hands on until Sep. 2nd. I ended up getting the olive PA 12. can not wait to get this thing home!. Are there any other PA owners in the Vegas/Henderson/BC area? If so how are your experiences on lake mead/willow beach areas?
